Zecotek Receives Another US Patent – MAPD

Zecotek Receives United States Patent Allowance for its MAPD Solid-State Photo Detector

Singapore, February 19, 2014 – Zecotek Photonics Inc. (TSX-V: ZMS; Frankfurt: W1I), a developer of leading-edge photonics technologies for medical, industrial and scientific markets, today announced that the United States Patent Office has issued a Notice of Allowance for its Micro-channel Avalanche Photodiode (MAPD) solid-state photo detector. The Company is focused on strengthening its patent portfolio specific to imaging technology and associated components, and this patent allowance represents another important step is securing intellectual property related to all key elements for a high performance PET scanner.

“The US patent allowance for our MAPD solid-state photo-detector is important to our strategic alliance with Hamamatsu Photonics and our relationship with the prestigious science institution CERN,” said Dr. A.F. Zerrouk, Chairman, President, and CEO of Zecotek Photonics Inc. “The MAPD solid-state photo detector is a key alternative component for the development of a new generation PET scanner, and having protection of the underlying MAPDtechnology is very important to our Company and our shareholders. The MAPD is now patented in the United States, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and China, and patents are pending in other countries. We will continue to be vigilant with respect to the security of our technologies patent portfolio.”

Zecotek’s proprietary MAPD-3N is a design upgrade of the previously announced MAPD. It offers significant performance-cost advantages over competing photomultiplier tubes (PMT) and other solid-state, silicon based photo-detectors. Its good recovery time, unique radiation hardness and display of the highest possible linearity make it a prime component for the improved detector designs required in the next crucial phase of high energy experiments at CERN. Its low manufacturing cost, excellent timing resolution and Photon Detection Efficiency are key characteristics for the new configurations of high resolution PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scanners.

The MAPD-3N is supplied to customers through Zecotek Imaging Systems Pte. Ltd., Singapore, a wholly owned subsidiary of Zecotek Photonics Inc., and manufactured under contract by the National NanoFab Center, Daejeon City, South Korea.
